The Kronans are 8 feet tall 2000 lbs silicon based humanoid lifeforms that had already developed an advanced space faring Military dictatorship as of 3000 BC. Their bodies are composed of a strong, silicon like substance, granting them proteciton against most physical harm. Within an oxygen-based atmosphere, they possess enhanced strength. They can consume minerals such as coal or shale as food. Kronans reproduce by holding hands and immersing them within a pool of lava (traditionally Mount Krona on the homeworld); after days of merging and hardening, the hands break apart, releasing the newborn "rockling."
Their space technology is based on gravitic manipulation and they possess advanced cybernetic skills.
Around 3,000 BC, the Kronans attempted an invasion of earth. Landing in ancient Babylon, they fought King Gilgamesh of Uruk, who vanquished them with the aid of a time-travelling Captain America. The Kronans fled to their vessel and abandoned earth. (As narrated in (Captain America Annual#11 (1992))
In 1962, the Kronans landed an immense invasion force in Norway. Sighted by Dr. Donald Blake, they pursued him into a cave, where Blake discovered the hammer of Thor. The Kronans went on to attack NATO forces, driving them off with an illusionary dragon. When Thor came to fight them, they lowered a cage over him to capture him, but he smashed through. They aimed their disintegrators at him, but he smashed them with his hammer. Finally, they unleashed the Mechano-Monster, but Thor destroyed it with a single blow. Terrified of Thor, the Kronans fled earth. (As narrated in (Journey Into Mystery I#83 (August, 1962).
